side of your train and the rugged Pacific Ocean coastline on the
other. Travel through some of New Zealand’s finest horticultural and
farmland areas, plus seals and penguins from the comfort of your carriage.

Along the way you pass though the village of Kaikoura, where you can break your journey
to take in the whale watching or dare to get closer and swim with the
dolphins.
